    The conversion of the great CS Lewis—captured on film

    I got to see a sneak peek of the film, and I thought it was well done. It is truly a breath of fresh air in our day of seemingly endless bad news.

  • The Marxist move to cancel Jefferson

    The Marxist move to cancel Jefferson

    In my humble opinion, the most enduring legacy of Jefferson is that he helped set the framework by which the slaves could be free one day. As the author of the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, he made it clear that our rights come from the Creator.

    The primary stakeholder in schools: Parents or educrats?

  • Harvard: From promoting Christ to promoting an atheist chaplain

    Harvard: From promoting Christ to promoting an atheist chaplain

    The Reverend John Harvard must be rolling over in his grave. America’s oldest and most prestigious university, named in the Congregational minister’s honor, just promoted a “devout atheist” to be their head chaplain.

  • Karl Marx's favorite quote

    Karl Marx's favorite quote

    Can anybody name a square inch spot on the planet, anywhere, where Marxism has brought anything good? Certainly not in China, Russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.

  • What makes the Taliban tick?

    What makes the Taliban tick?

    It is horrible to see the collapse of Afghanistan and thousands trying to flee the country before the Islamists take complete control there. What motivates the Taliban who once again are violently asserting power in that country? What makes the Taliban tick?
